Planting & Care Instructions:
Soak bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to encourage healthy root development.
Choose a sunny spot with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Prepare well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Add compost or organic matter to enrich the soil.
Plant crowns at soil level, ensuring that the roots are well spread out but the crown is not buried.
Space plants 12–18 inches apart, and leave 3–4 feet between rows to promote airflow.
Water consistently to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.
Remove flowers the first year to help plants establish strong roots and improve fruit production in subsequent years.
Expect a steady harvest of sweet, aromatic berries starting in the second season, with continuous fruiting each year thereafter.
